This Tony Award®–winning Best Musical, suffused with an award-winning, “sparkling” (The Washington Post) score by Maury Yeston and book by Arthur Kopit, is based on the groundbreaking Italian film 8½. The spectacular musical adaptation, with an all-star Broadway cast directed and choreographed by Kennedy Center Honoree and three-time Tony® winner Andy Blankenbuehler (Hamilton, Bandstand, In the Heights), features one man and the dozens of women in his life. Celebrated but impulsive film director Guido Contini, succumbing to the pressures of filming his latest epic, suffers a midlife crisis. One by one, women from his past and present—including his mother, his wife, his mistress, and his leading lady—haunt, instruct, scold, seduce, and encourage him. Featuring soaring musical numbers and a bold set design, this romantic, moving foray into the mind of an artist is Broadway Center Stage as you’ve never seen it before.
